The Bulova Windsor
Here's a 1929 Windsor ad snippet from the decades thread.
There's two 1929 (blurry) newspaper ads showing it as the Cromwell on page 2 in this 1928 Windsor watch record.
I go with 1928 Windsor ID, as I think the top ad above is from a Bulova produced advertisement, if I remember correctly.
Well if Bobbee ads are correctly date then this model changed from Windsor to Cromwell sometime in 1929. Is that a fair enough assimption? The advert we also have is dated 29 June 1929, so it would be post that date if there was a name change.
or....maybe the name diiffernce is once again related to the geographical market in its place or sale.
Also note the different movements. A 8AN and 13AF.
If the year of manufacture is the telling factor and the names changed sometime in late 1929 then a 1928 Windsor would be correct for both. Both I think both need a tentative rating.
